France’s fifth largest asset management group Ofi Invest has set up a new real estate management unit called Ofi Invest Real Estate.
The new company encompasses the real estate management expertise and activities of Aéma REIM, Ofi Pierre and Abeille REIM (former Aviva Investors Real Estate France).
Ofi Invest Real Estate will manage €11 bn of real estate assets on behalf of institutional and retail clients, mainly in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark.
The company’s 120 experts cover the full range of real estate management value chain, including investment, asset, property and fund management.
Laurence Dumas, CEO of Aéma REIM, said: ‘The Ofi Invest Group’s ambition to act as a major responsible finance player, resonates admirably with the commitment of the real estate teams to place ESG performance at the heart of our investment and asset management strategies.’
Adrien Beuriot, CEO of Abeille REIM, added: ‘This merger provides a tremendous opportunity to capitalise on the complementary expertise of our teams and to offer both our institutional and individual clients a wider range of services and real estate assets across different asset classes and regions.’
